Chapter 418: 414: Chronicles of Escaping from the Elemental World
(Master, didn’t you promise Gamma could eat him?)
Upon hearing Bai Qi’s words, Gamma seemed a bit wronged. He looked at Bai Qi with his big eyes full of pity, and Bai Qi couldn’t help but feel a surge of intense guilt.
“Ahem, well, Gamma, if you eat him now, you’ll only be full once. But if you sell him, you can be full many times over. You understand the difference between being full once and being full for every meal, right?”
(Not really.)
Gamma shook his head, clearly reluctant, but still obediently spit out the Fire Tyrant’s Elemental Core.
Crack.
Then, the moment the Elemental Core hit the ground, it shattered to pieces. A burst of red energy emerged from it, burrowed into the ground and disappeared. All that remained were fragments of the core.
Kappa!
(Master, Gamma didn’t do it on purpose!)
Seeing his inadvertent destruction of the Elemental Core, Gamma became somewhat flustered.
“It’s okay, it’s not your fault.”
Bai Qi picked up a fragment. Information about the fragment popped up in his mind.
[Material Name]: Fire Elemental Core (Broken)
[Material Level]: Epic
[Material Description]: The core of a Fire Element King. Due to being broken, the energy remaining is only a fraction, greatly reducing its quality.
[Material Effect]: Flame Enhancement (??%), Magma Impact (??%)
…
“Such a pity, if it hadn’t broken, it might have even reached the Mythical level.”
Bai Qi expressed slight regret as Schuck, after scanning the broken core, promptly advised, “The core’s energy is still being lost, you’d better use it quickly.”
“Still being lost?”
Surprised, Bai Qi was about to let Gamma eat up the broken core when an idea suddenly struck him. He interrupted the incubation of the Fire Armor Swordsman, summoned it, and flung the Fire Element Core fragments right towards it.
“Almost forgot about this. Even if it’s a fragment of a core from the Fire Element King, it should still be enough for evolution to a Lord.”
The Fire Armor Swordsman caught the Elemental Core fragment, and Bai Qi immediately activated the Diamond Egg to encapsulate it.
Kappa…
(That was Gamma’s food…)
“Don’t worry, are there any shortage of Elemental Cores in the Fire Element World? We’ll find more later.”
Bai Qi patted Gamma’s head. Initially, he was concerned about their survival here. Unexpectedly, he found Gamma could defeat a High Level Six Stage King so easily. The situation was quickly turning in their favor.
The Fire Element World? More like a large Elemental Core extraction site!
We hit the jackpot; we won’t have to worry about lacking materials for the rest of our lives!
“Beast Master, I suggest you get a grip.”
Seeing Bai Qi’s excitement, Jerry ruthlessly broke his illusion.
“If I’m not mistaken, the souls of the Fire Elementals who die here will return to the Fire Element World, and the Elemental Cores will break up like just now.”
With his dark golden eyes scanning the surroundings, Jerry added, “Also, I suggest you start running.”
“Running?”
Surprised at Jerry’s suggestion, Bai Qi suddenly saw the ground in the distance violently split open. A gigantic claw, as big as a Fierce Dragon Beast’s, extended from underground, slamming heavily onto the earth.
“Holy shit, we got to run!”
Seeing the gigantic claw emerging from underground, Bai Qi’s mind flashed back to the massive serpent they encountered in the Sun Secret Realm.
Why again this plot of provoking a minor enemy only to attract the major one! Are you not bored of it?
Despite his complaints, Bai Qi was incredibly quick to retract the Diamond Egg, mounted Delta, which was prepared to initiate Void Echo and ready to teleport.
Boom!
The moment Gamma was about to enter the Void, another giant claw suddenly slammed down. A horrifying wave of heat swept over them, causing spatial ripples that interfered with Delta and the Void’s Resonance.
“Damn, we triggered a tough one.”
Bai Qi felt a chill run down his spine. Seeing the terrifying creature emerging from the ground, he gritted his teeth, decisively called all his other pets back into the Beast Control Space, leaving only Gamma and Delta outside.
The more creatures carried, the harder it is for Delta to resonate with the Void. Now, of course, the fewer the better.
“Gamma, protect us. Delta, focus on preparing to teleport.”
Kappa!
(Leave it to Gamma!)
Blup!
(No problem!)
All the pets nodded. Gamma immediately transformed into a layer of thin armor, enclosing Bai Qi and Delta while Delta took a step forward, swiftly dashing into the distance while accelerating its Void Resonance.
However, it was apparent Bai Qi had angered the flame creature. Despite not fully emerging from the ground, it launched attacks at Bai Qi. Every slap from it created significant shock waves.
Luckily, Gamma defended with all its might, the shockwaves did not influence Delta again. Instead, they acted as a boost, pushing Delta to fly further.
Seeing this, it seemed the flame monster was provoked. It forced itself out from the ground, revealing its gigantic head that was as large as a mountain, while a terrifying aura rushed towards Bai Qi’s soul.
In an instant, Bai Qi felt as if he was in the middle of a sea of flames. The horrifying temperature seemed ready to incinerate his soul, temporarily freezing his thought process.
Buzz, buzz, buzz…
At this moment, the Evolution Egg began to shake violently, snapping Bai Qi and his pets back to reality. Delta managed to enter the Void Resonance State in an instant.
Whoosh~
The space twisted and distorted, and a person with two pets disappeared on the spot.
Then, a terrifying flame monster emerged from the ground and stared at the direction where Bai Qi disappeared, roaring in rage at the sky.
The Fire Element World began to boil.
…
Somewhere unknown in the Fire Element World.
A ripple of energy parted the raging flames, and an ancestral beast wrapped in green jelly fell down, panting heavily on the ground.
“Gamma, Delta, are you guys okay?”
Bai Qi quickly asked, anxiously looking at his twin pets.
Gulp, gulp.
(Gamma is okay, the energy here is so rich, Gamma can recover quickly.)
Gamma shook its head, then extended a tentacle to Delta, beginning to replenish the energy Delta had exhausted.
To ensure safety, Delta had almost depleted its energy during the teleportation, which brought them the maximum distance away from the monster. Although they succeeded in getting some distance, Delta’s energy was now largely consumed.
“I’m glad you’re here, Gamma. You’re like a portable charger, without you, we’d be doomed.”
Seeing Delta gradually recovering with Gamma’s help, Bai Qi was full of gratitude.
“That creature was way too powerful though, it felt stronger than several Guardians!”
Bai Qi looked towards the direction where flames were erupting in the distance, his eyes still filled with residual fear, his initial thoughts of taking a vacation in the Fire Element World completely gone.
This was no vacation, but pure suffering.
“For safety’s sake, we should get further away.”
Having checked on Delta’s condition, Bai Qi once again prepared to retreat.
Boom, boom, boom!
The ground in front of Bai Qi suddenly exploded, dozens of gruesome flame elements crawled out from the ground and attacked Bai Qi without any warning.
“Damn, have they already caught up?”
Bai Qi saw this and his eyes twitched. He immediately ordered Delta to keep teleporting.
However, just as Delta emerged from the void, more flame elements popped up, launching an attack on them.
“Being on the enemy’s turf is a bit difficult…”
Bai Qi gave a bitter smile upon seeing this, and observing the both Gamma and Delta getting a bit tired inspite of Gamma supplying energy, he quickly summoned the Alpha and Beta pets.
“Alpha, clear the way in front. Beta, find us the way out. Gamma, protect me. Keep an eye out for any leaks, Bug Weed. As for Delta, you go rest for a bit and be ready to teleport.”
(Got it!)
Without wasting any words, each pet quickly moved to their respective positions and started to advance into the distance.
The great escape from the Fire Element World began!
…
Eden.
Aleta crawled out of the Element Gate, looking aggravated. Burn marks were faintly visible on her red clothes.
“Aleta, did you find that kid?”
Eternal Night Blood Emperor, who had a favorable impression of Bai Qi, immediately came up to ask.
“No, I encountered a Demi-God Flame Demon as soon as I entered. After a fight, I decided to retreat.”
Aleta shook her head, saying: “The Fire Element World has erupted in chaos, the odds for Bai Qi are bad.”
Hearing Aleta’s words, the Eternal Night Blood Emperor’s face also turned ugly.
“So we’re going to get beaten up again.”
“Bai Qi is in trouble? Then this dragon must go too!”
Listening to their conversation, Nicholas immediately charged toward the Element Gate. He was originally here to protect Bai Qi, but now Bai Qi had entered the Fire Element World alone, his fate unknown. Nicholas was extremely distressed.
“Don’t hurry, that human won’t die.”
The Cowskin Snake flicked its tail nonchalantly, speaking with confidence.
“Oh? You know about Bai Qi’s situation?”
Hearing the Cowskin Snake’s words, Nicholas’ eyes immediately lit up, and ignoring the snake’s attitude, he moved closer.
The Cowskin Snake yawned and said, “I’m just guessing.”
“Is this the time to joke?!”
Furious at the Cowskin Snake’s words, Nicholas immediately grabbed it, intent on taking it into the Elemental World.
“Ladies and gentlemen, the Association just called.”
Just then, Yi Yu ran towards them, holding a phone, waving it at Nicholas.
“The Association? Are they demanding accountability from Eden?”
Aleta frowned slightly, already beginning to think of the aftermath.
“No, the Association has found Bai Qi, and he is safe and sound.”
“Really, you aren’t pulling this dragon’s leg? Where is he now?”
Nicholas immediately let out a sigh of relief upon hearing this, and hastily asked Yi Yu.
Seeing Nicholas’s anxious state, Yi Yu nodded, saying, “This was President Qin who contacted me himself. Bai Qi is safe now, as for his location…”
“He is in Gusu City.”
